	Powerhouse Museum \| Bleriot monoplane
		The Bleriot XI monoplane is one of the earliest civil aircraft to be flown in Australia.
		One of Carey's pupils, K.J. Claffey, a farmer from Denliquinn, NSW, purchased the Bleriot in 1920 and it was subsequently purchased by the Department of Civil Aviation in 1939 for a proposed display at Mascot aerodrome, in Sydney.
		Bleriot was amongst the first aviators to adopt the logical system of cockpit controls that is now universal, namely a foot operated rudder bar for control in yaw; a central lever that tilts forward and back, and left and right for control in pitch and roll and a hand throttle.

		Louis Bleriot made his fortune manufacturing acetylene lamps for automobiles, although he spent nearly all of this profit on his aviation ventures; a total of nearly 780,000 francs, and by the beginning of 1909 he was bankrupt.
		Bleriot's only financial reward for being the first was Lord Northcliffe's Daily Mail purse of 1,000 pounds to the first person to complete a Channel crossing between sunrise and sunset in a heavier than air vehicle.
		At 4:41, Bleriot received the message that dawn had officially broken, and in 37 minutes, Louis Bleriot was the first person to have ever flown across the English Channel in a heavier than air vehicle, a mark that can never be surpassed, nor forgotten.

		The French press immediately interpreted Bleriot's exploit as a triumph of the monoplane--a French solution to flight--over Wright's American biplane, which, it was now remembered, had the additional defect of having to be catapulted into the air by means of a cumbersome derrick and rail.
		In the aftermath of the flight, while Bleriot was being celebrated in London and Paris by huge crowds, orders for his flying machine, the Bleriot XI, which was in large part designed by engineer Raymond Saulnier, began to arrive in droves.
		Bleriot's flight marked the high point of a feverish summer in which the public had been gripped with aerial hysteria and fear of invasion from foreign hordes.

		The Bleriot XI complete weighs 484 pounds, and with operator and fuel supply ready for a 25- or 30-mile flight, 715 pounds.
		One peculiarity of the Bleriot construction is that, while the ribs of the main plane are curved, there is no preliminary bending of the pieces as in other forms of construction.
		Bleriot has his rib pieces cut a little longer than required and, by springing them into place, secures the necessary curvature.

		The Bleriot monoplane is one of the most significant of pre-WW I aircraft.
		By 1915, Bleriots were outclassed by more advanced airplanes and they were relegated to training Allied aviators including many Americans who joined the British and French flying services prior to U.S. Air Service entry into the war.
		At full throttle, the fledgling pilots bounced across the airfield, learning to control the rudder with their feet; once they could keep the Bleriot on a fairly straight course, they advanced to an airplane which could leave the ground.
